Hi,
I am pleased to say that I have had a fantastic weekend, opening an exhibition in the company of two good friends, Sys Ehlers and Mikael Melbye.

Sys is an old friend and the basket maker that I painted for the exhibition.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mikael for the first time ever, on the very day that we would arrange the exhibition.
He is such a fun and pleasant person and we all had lots of good laughs.

I will attach some pictures from the weekend.:

Egon is a real joker,
so I had to take him
Mikael had to wave goodbye to one of his Rome paintings.
Andreas and his mother.

Allan,

How wonderful! Great to see your wonderful work on a wall where many people can appreciate it!

Love to see your subjects enjoying it too.

You all look so cheerful! Is this the same country that the book "Smilla's Sense of Snow " was about? You would never know!

Hi Allan,

Great news buddy! Congrats on that!

Allan,

From the pictures it looks like you had a great time. I love seeing photos of the people you've painted, and of Mikael. Do you have any more of the work itself as it looked hanging in the space?

Congratulations on the show!

I keep coming back to this post to see these happy faces, Allen! I'm delighted that this has gone so well for you. Congratulations on your very well-earned success!

Thank you all for the good spirit.
This exhibition does mean a lot to me and to the others as well I guess. The museum have a serious tradition and is well known in the country as a cultural center for both pictorial art and classic music, so I was very humbled that I was invited to exhibit. I guess that the fun we had on the arranging day was mostly a sort of gallows humor, but non the less it was a euphoric day for all of us.
Sharon,
Denmark is a small country, so we have to do chocking things to be heard. But sometimes the world pay too much attention to some of them. Actually we have all sorts of opinions around here and fortunately we don

Sys also made a sale on the opening day.
And a few pics from my room.

Allan, many congratulations, this is a small community and it is a pity that in fact we are phisically so distant and cannot come and cheer for you as you deserve!

Thank you Ilaria,

I think that, in fact ,we are closer than we could ever hope to be, on the net.

Of cause it would be nice to meet in person and talk and see the the paintings. But I also like the fast communication on the net where you can talk to people all over the world.

You are also right that we are a small group and I pray that we will stay that way

One last question, Allan!
When are you getting a website done with all your work displayed?!
